Frictional Games have had some pretty great characters with really good writing. ITT we single out what we think are the best bits of dialogue. Spoiler tags if it's sensitive data, of course. In case you need a spoiler tag refresher:

-"Agrippa? I need you to stay awake. Can you feel the syringe?"
-"No, I can't feel anything. Alexander?"
-"Yes?"
-"Soon I won't even be able to move, will I?"
-"Your life is safe."
-"I don't doubt that, but will it be worth living?"
Alexander and Agrippa

I don't consider it a huge spoiler but I always am amused by this one:

Spoiler below!

Herbert: Don't forget your bag, Daniel!

Daniel: I won't, Herbert.

Herbert: There is no shame in using a parasol in the desert. As it happens it's imperative to your survival!

Daniel: But it looks ridiculous...

Herbert: The shame will hurt much less than dying, I assure you

And actually I just had to add my other favorite just because I love it so:

Spoiler below!

Alexander: The Wheel is good for keeping your victim still during the procedure. They can be bound around the circumference or simply stretched across, tying limbs to the spokes and rim. All tools are by this point useful, and you may administer the torture in any way you like, but the forte of the Wheel is the gaps. When you have decided that the victim shall die, you can smash their limbs with a hammer, making them fold in-between the frame.

Daniel: But they'll die!- Too quickly I mean...

Alexander: No, don't worry. The human body is much more resilient. They can survive for days until they finally...succumb.

''Why, oh why. Are they always holding a key, a note, or a swipe card? Why is it never, i don't know, a cheese sandvich. Im starving!''

Spoiler below!

''Hey Hey, good work buddy. Give yourself a slap in the back with a crowbar. Oh, one thing before you get overwhelmed with glee - I know murder can be quite fun but... Didn't you quite like that broad? Hey i think thats a piece of her skull on your shoe.''

Spoiler below!

''You see, i knew you wouldn't do it. So i guess that puts me in the steering wheel now. Hi Ho Silver!''
